It has been years since I have had any Douwe Egbert coffee and was pleased to find whole bean varieties here at Enjoy Better Coffee.I hesitate to rate coffee as we all have different tastes and expectations. But after the first bag, I ordered two more. My wife, who doesn't normally like coffee, would bug me to make this coffee in the morning. I am a German coffee (Jacobs Krönung is my favorite) and this is definitely worth a try if you haven't had it yet! A good, rich, not dark roast coffee that is a great way to start your day!
